baqi hai wahi shoKHi-e-guftar abhi tak
baaqī hai vahī shoḳhi-e-guftār abhī tak
dīvāne pahuñchte haiñ sar-e-dār abhī tak
sar par hai bahāroñ ke mire ḳhuun kā sahrā
ālūda lahū se haiñ gul o ḳhaar abhī tak
āzādi-e-kāmil ke tasavvur meñ hai insāñ
apne hī ḳhayāloñ meñ giraftār abhī tak
gaate haiñ uḳhuvvat ke tarāne to shab o roz
barbādi-e-ālam ko haiñ tayyār abhī tak
begāna bane laakh mohabbat se zamāna
hai jins-e-garāñ-māya tirā pyaar abhī tak
hotī hai ḳhayāloñ hī meñ tanzīm chaman kī
kirdār hī badle haiñ na guftār abhī tak
ma.asūm hai ma.asūm bahut amn kī devī
qabze meñ liye ḳhanjar-e-ḳhūñ-ḳhār abhī tak
'ārif' ye zamāna to badalnā hī paḌegā
uTTho bhī hai is kī vahī raftār abhī tak
baqi hai wahi shoKHi-e-guftar abhi tak
diwane pahunchte hain sar-e-dar abhi tak
sar par hai bahaaron ke mere KHun ka sahra
aaluda lahu se hain gul o KHar abhi tak
aazadi-e-kaamil ke tasawwur mein hai insan
apne hi KHayalon mein giraftar abhi tak
gate hain uKHuwwat ke tarane to shab o roz
barbaadi-e-alam ko hain tayyar abhi tak
begana bane lakh mohabbat se zamana
hai jins-e-garan-maya tera pyar abhi tak
hoti hai KHayalon hi mein tanzim chaman ki
kirdar hi badle hain na guftar abhi tak
masum hai masum bahut amn ki dewi
qabze mein liye KHanjar-e-KHun-KHar abhi tak
'arif' ye zamana to badalna hi paDega
uTTho bhi hai is ki wahi raftar abhi tak
